All areas located along the six active trenches in the country could experience an earthquake of up to 8.2 in magnitude, the head of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Tuesday.

These trenches are the Philippine Trench (located from East Luzon to Southeast Mindanao); East Luzon Trough; Manila Trench; Negros Trench; Sulu Trench; and Cotabato Trench, Phivolcs Director Teresito Bacolcol told the Philippine News Agency in an interview.

MMDA’s Oplan Metro Yakal Plus divides the metropolis into four independent, self-sustaining quadrants, each equipped with its own pre-designated master evacuation camp and emergency field hospital. Designations of cities 👇

A Gentle Reminder :

Magnitude 7.2 earthquake will instantly collapse Metro Manila's bridges and flyovers, cutting the capital into four isolated islands and blocking emergency responders.

To prevent total paralysis, the MMDA’s Oplan Metro Yakal Plus divides the metropolis into four independent, self-sustaining quadrants, each equipped with its own pre-designated master evacuation camp and emergency field hospital.

THE NORTH AND EAST QUADRANTS: THE HEALTHCARE HUB

The North Quadrant serves as the capital's primary healthcare refuge, encompassing Quezon City, Caloocan, Valenzuela, San Juan, and Mandaluyong. If you are caught in these areas, you must look for open ground away from dense commercial zones.

The designated primary evacuation camps for this sector are the sprawling Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) Golf Course and the expansive UP Diliman Grounds, while emergency field hospitals will be rapidly deployed at both the VMMC compound and the Quezon Memorial Circle.

Meanwhile, the East Quadrant acts as the high-risk Valley Response Zone, covering Pasig City and Marikina City—the two localities directly hugging the active fault line.

Because of their extreme proximity to the epicenter, residents here must immediately route to Marikina Boys Town, the Red Cross Compound in Marikina, or the ULTRA (PhilSports Complex) in Pasig, with emergency medical operations centralized at the LRT-2 Santolan Station Depot.

THE WEST AND SOUTH QUADRANTS: COASTAL REFUGES AND FINANCIAL SAFETY NETS

For those located near Manila Bay, the West Quadrant covers the City of Manila, Malabon, and Navotas. This dense, historic sector relies heavily on the Intramuros Golf Course to serve as both its primary evacuation camp and emergency field hospital.

The thick, historical stone walls and wide-open greens of the golf course provide a much-needed structural buffer zone, keeping evacuating crowds safe from collapsing high-rises and crowded residential blocks.

On the other hand, the South Quadrant covers the sprawling financial and residential districts of Makati, Taguig (BGC), Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, and the municipality of Pateros.

If the disaster strikes while you are in this sector, the primary evacuation sanctuary and field hospital operations will be entirely centralized at the Villamor Air Base Golf Course in Pasay City.

STAY IN THE QUADRANT

When "The Big One" hits, forget going home. Roads will be impassable, bridges severed, and falling debris lethal. If you are working in BGC but live in Quezon City, do not cross town. Your absolute survival mandate is to stay put and head to your current sector's nearest evacuation point—like Villamor Air Base for the South.

REMEMBER THESE PUBLIC GOLF COURSES

The MMDA’s decision to utilize golf courses like Veterans, Intramuros, and Villamor as primary disaster hubs is brilliant. In a catastrophic urban earthquake, the number one cause of casualties is not the ground shaking itself but falling debris—collapsing concrete walls, shattering glass facades, and snapping overhead power lines.

Golf courses are massive, wide-open green spaces completely devoid of potential debris Furthermore, these terrains provide perfect, clear zones for military helicopters to land safely, allowing emergency personnel to drop off critical medical supplies and airlift the severely injured when all roads are blocked.

Surviving "The Big One" requires clear-headed planning, not panic. Understanding Oplan Metro Yakal Plus provides the advantage needed during the first 72 hours of complete isolation. Memorizing these four independent quadrants and their open-air assembly points is key to survival.

Please share this information with your family and friends.

APC is having hierarchy’s rule of law issues these days.

[Pilipinas Today @PilipinasToday_]

Nangangamba si Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla sa posibilidad na sadyang binabalewala diumano ni Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano na ipatupad ang 6-month preventive suspension order na inilabas ng una laban kay Senate Sergeat-at-Arms retired Police Maj. Gen. Mao Aplasca.

“Nakakadalawang sulat na ako kay Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano tungkol diyan,” sabi ni Remulla sa kanilang programang “Executive Session” sa DZRH ngayong Sabado, Mayo 30.

Ang preventive suspension order ay inisyu Remulla upang bigyang daan ang imbestigasyon sa naganap na pagpapaputok ng baril sa loob ng Senado noong Mayo 13 ng gabi kung saan sangkot si Aplasca at iba pang tauhan ng Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms (OSAA) sa kasagsagan ng pakikipaggirian ng mga ito sa mga ahente ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).

Ayon kay Remulla, ikokonsulta niya sa mga legal experts ang ginagawang pagbalewala ni Cayetano sa pagsisilbi ng suspension order laban kay Aplasca dahil aniya: “This issue is a Constitutional issue.”

“We have to respect the law, we have to respect the Constitution,” giit ng Ombudsman.

Reading glasses might be done.

The FDA just approved a once-daily eye drop called VIZZ that sharpens near vision in about 30 minutes and keeps it sharp for up to 10 hours.

One drop. Each eye. Per day.

That's it.

The active ingredient is aceclidine, a compound first used back in 1975 to treat glaucoma. Scientists figured out it could be repurposed to gently shrink the pupil, creating a "pinhole effect" that pulls close-up text back into focus, the same trick your eye does when you squint.

Unlike Vuity, the 2021 drop that came before it, VIZZ doesn't mess with your focusing muscles. So no blurry distance vision. No brow ache. No weird zoom effect.

It was tested across more than 30,000 treatment days with no major complications.

Cost is roughly $2 a day.

This matters because presbyopia, the age-related slide that hits most people between 40 and 45, already affects more than 120 million Americans. By 2030, the World Health Organization expects around 2 billion people worldwide to have it.

LENZ Therapeutics, the maker, started rolling out samples in October.

The squint era is ending.
